gmazz Posted June 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We just took the tour with MaryLou in Hilo in March and loved it. We had her husband Tom, he was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnieslady Posted June 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We have done their tours twice in 2 years. A few years ago I talked to Ricky from Ricky's tour over the phone, he said he does not vary his tour @ all. He does the same exact tour everytime. So if you want to vary the tour even just a little go with Mary Lou's . Her husband is great also. Now their son is doing it too. I would not hesitate to go with him also. We paid @ the end of the tour not ahead:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northender Posted June 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2014 This may have changed, because he did offer to alter his tour last year. Same here. Just a little. But it was no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnieslady Posted June 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This may have changed, because he did offer to alter his tour last year. Yes, I do remember this , but he said we had to fill the van with 8-10 people on our own. Then being considered a private tour. If we wanted to make any changes, even a few. I did not want to be responsible for making sure we had that many people.:eek: What if @ the last minute some from our roll call did not show up.?? Then we would have to pay the difference. That is what he said. Where with Mary Lou's they got the extra people & if they did not, then you had an even smaller group. And not pay for a private tour, if you were flexible. They would do a few changes. They try to please everyone in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatfromPa Posted June 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2014 we recently toured with Mary Lou and actually had her son Kyle for the driver and narrator. We were shown all the major sites, and Kyle escorted us and explained everything. The personal touch provided was top notch and I recommend them highlly. There were 3 couples in a van and was so much nicer than the big bus tours. Payment was made at the end of the tour, which was also different than dealing with the big tour companies. You won't regret going with this company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also offer Kona tours, but we have a snorkel trip planned there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
